ministrators also got into the
act by donating their blood.
Those who gave blood were
treated to cookies and fruit
juice. The drive started at
around nine o’'clock and finish

of blood.

like to thank all the faculty and
students who donated their

Sled Dogging Enjoyed By Many
By DUSTIN MILLICAN
First, man invented snow
skiing. For a while, man was
content. But, as always, he
desired more. More speed,
more maneuverability, and so,
snowboarding was created.
But, over time, man ceased to
be content with the bulky
boards. He needed something
smaller, more efficient. At last,
snow skating was invented,
and, as always, the young
generation has embraced this
young idea.
Snow skating is a fast
growing pasttime among Chat
tooga High students. Since the
sport’'s creation in October of
1994, many students have

of these students are Matt
Geisler, Matthew Smith, Blake
Elsberry, and Sarah Elsberry.
In addition, several soon-to-be
Indians, Rebecca Elsberry,
Mark Elsberry, and Micah
Geisler also participate in this
sport.
Snow skates, commonly
called “‘Sled Dogs” are very
similar to inline skates, and the
styles used are very similar.
“We all inline,” said Blake
Elsberry, referring to he and
his fellow sled dogiers “and
aggressive skate, that's like
grinding poles and other
tricks.”

same was said for snow

Although hits are the norm,
they are not required for Sled

mine on and skated in the
backyard,” said Blake. ‘‘lced

“The company that pro
